Using Foldable Antitipper Wheels - Invacare Storm4 X-plore User Manual

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT REGULATING THE ACTUATOR FUNCTIONS ON
GRADIENTS
Your mobility aid is fitted with an angular sensor which guarantees tipping stability. The sensor
measures the actual angle of the drive unit, and prevents any further decrease in stability by
restricting the functionality of the adjustment actuators. If this safety function is activated, the
backrest and the seat tilting can only be moved forwards, and the lifter can only be lowered.
Please reposition your mobility aid on level ground so that the actuators can function normally
again.

Using foldable antitipper wheels

Where space is restricted, e.g. in an elevator or when being transported in a car, the mobility
device may be too long. Foldable antitipper wheels can be useful here. These can only be operated
by an attendant as they are positioned beyond the reach of the user.
CAUTION: Risk of tipping if the antitipper wheels are not returned to the driving position
before moving off.
• Always return the antitipper wheels to the driving position before moving off (see the figure
below).
• Make sure that the locking pin is fully engaged.
